Rando Bike for a Tall Person
I'm looking for a rando-style bike to do some light touring and ride around town. Trouble is, I'm 6'4". My current bike is an old Andy Gilmour racing bike, which was custom made for someone about my height almost 30 years ago. I love the bike, but I'm looking for something a little more relaxed that can handle a front bag and a light rear load well. I'd also like to ride wider tires (maybe 30c - 34c) with fenders. Other than the Soma Smoothie ES, I don't know of any appropriate production bikes that would fit me. Any ideas?
Also, there is a used 66cm Seven Cycles Sola bike for sale on craigslist in my area. The specifications follow. He's asking for $1,200. Sound like a good bike for my needs? Thanks.
